My grandmother was a Mangum, and I don&#39;t know, but I may be the first rider of this particular event to have this kind of connection to the town!&quot; <br /><br />Well, I know the answer to that: yep, another first on the day for Fixie Pixie. <br /><br />Btw, I&#39;ve known the 3-families story since 1985 (when I moved to NC the first time), but no one ever seemed to know the exact story. So, a first for me, too -- actually getting the correct story, from a descendent, no less! <br /><br /><br />&quot;... but the outdoor seating violated all my rules about how not to get chilled ... .&quot; <br /><br />I&#39;m glad to hear that someone besides me was not sanguine about standing / sitting in the cold outdoors, doing nothing. <br /><br /><br />Can you write my blog posts? Many fewer typos, etc.. And a heckuva&#39; lot better written! <br /><br />All-in-all, a fun day. I hope that I get to ride a little with you again. (I have another perm-pop, 138-kms, NOT flat, has valley crossing and even some actual hill-like things. DSS and BB are the only north of Raleigh + Durham perm-pops we have, currently. Several 200+ km perms, though. A couple are rather &quot;climby&quot;.) <br /><br />...Martinskiffrunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17627376178648891371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739147624979162869.post-80885274695907660652013-02-08T23:29:03.885-05:002013-02-08T23:29:03.885-05:00Mike, I am looking forward to it!Mike, I am looking forward to it!Fixie Pixiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12932022188247682078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739147624979162869.post-80208117537388798892013-02-08T22:04:05.055-05:002013-02-08T22:04:05.055-05:00What a fun day riding with you.
